Windows to go boot from wrong place

Q:Windows to go boot from wrong place

I've installed a windows to go on my USB driver. It works well, but only doesn't work on my own home computer.The symptom is that it will boot from my hard drive(I've already set the BIOS to boot from USB drive).I've checked the BCD file in my USB drive, it's normal when booting from other computers. But on my home computer, it will be replaced by another file, which contents are exactly same as BCD file on my hard drive. I don't know why.So it there anyone who knows about the boot process of windows to go? And how could i solve this problem?

I recommend downloading and running DAP. It can help sort out any driver and firmware related issues on your system

It's worked out well for many of us in the past.

You can download it direct from this link http://downloaddap.org. (This link will open the download page of DAP so you can save a copy to your computer.)

i was wondering if there is any software i can go from my pc from windows xp to windows vista, is there any software where u can switch windows, like for example on windows xp and vista u can switch user accounts, but i wanna switch windows, if u know what i mean

A:windows xp and windows vista softwares request, sorry if i post in the wrong place

Please help, how do you fix this? Ughh, please can you help me? Once again I have another annoying computer problem! I really hate this computer sometimes! I left for awhile today, the computer was on, everything was fine, when I got back it seem to have reset itself, I don't know maybe there was a power outage or something, whatever.

I have Vista by the way. Windows Vista. The point is, now the windows, when I reduce them to the little bar at the bottom of the screen, you know the one I mean right (Taskbar, I think it's called?). Instead of going to the left-hand side of that bar like they used to, they now go to the right side. They are tiny and if I have more than two of them open at once, I lose them! UGHHHHH! This ******* computer keeps taking the liberty of breaking itself!

Does anyone know if there is any way to put them back where they were, maybe something I could go to under Control Panel or something. If someone could please just help me get this fixed, I would appreciate it so much! Thank you so much everyone.

So I recently upgraded to an SSD, I moved the Location of the Documents folder to my HDD, now when I play games it stores files, where they should normally be in the Documents Folder, in the E:\ drive rather than E:\Documents.

My "Document Properties" look like this:

So shouldn't those folders be going to the Documents folder? They already exist in that folder but are from before I transitioned to an SSD.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

A:Windows storing "Documents" folders in wrong place

It looks like you moved the Libraries pointer to Documents and not the actual Documents folder which is under

but I need some help and I am sure you have all heard it.
The thing is
I can't log into yahoo mail but can go into everything else
can't go to gmail, bravenet.com or angelfire.com where my site is hosted. I worked on the site for 4 to 6 hours and now I can't check or do anything.

i guess i'm newer than i thought i was......a friend gave me a new monitor that is larger than my old one....so i have a lot of black screen ......wish i could fix this...if someone could help or redirect me, i would appreciate it....thank you

A:may be in the wrong place

The monitor you have now, as the old monitor you had, should have some buttons or knobs on the front of it. These are used to resize the image, adjust it's position etc. Try them out looking for the obvious such as a knob with an image that looks like it will stretch it etc. Also, you might want to adjust your settings to a different resolution. For example: 800X600, 1024X768 etc. To do that, just right click on an empty space on your desktop, select PROPERTIES, then left click on SETTINGS, then move the slider under SCREEN AREA. Hope this helps, T.

Hi all...I was goofing off on the internet today...went to my bookmarks and clicked on youtube....and it would not load! the loading bar was just 'going real fast' and never completly loading- just going real fast. Fearing it was some sort of virus or crash on thier behalf I closed it and came here to ask if any thing like this has happened before. you tell me please? I am also told by this site that I can recieve emails and comments through email so I will hope your answer come thru my email thanks! Moondiver

A:probably the wrong place to...

Hi,

Welcome to TSF!!

If you think that you have a virus, follow these instructions and the folk the that forum will help you out.

Since you have an older system you would need to upgrade nearly everything if you are looking to get a more modern system. Selling you exisitng system and buying/building a new one would be the smart move.

A friend has just created a new subdomain of his existing site. If I go to http://www.newsubdomain.existingsite.com, I see the host's generic "new site will be available soon" message. BUT if I go to http://newsubdomain.existingsite.com (that is, the same address, but without the leading "www."), I wind up on the site for some perfectly innocent-looking automotive specialty parts distribution company. (It looks like they mostly sell to retailers, not the public, so it makes no sense at all for them to be complicit in this apparent hijacking, although someone could have put something malicious on their site, I guess.)My computer is a laptop running WinXP Pro. AVG, spybot and Ad-aware scans find nothing amiss. The machine has no other symptoms of any kind of infection, afaict.The problem shows up regardless of whether I use Firefox or IE, but another machine on my home-network does NOT have this problem, so I know it's not a case of my ISP's DNS cache having been poisoned. I did run ipconfig /flushdns from a command prompt; that didn't fix it.Could this just be some simple corrupted record somewhere, or must we conclude a malware infection?TIA!!!

I got broadband last week and we're only allowed 2GB monthly usage limit (hehe, well it is cheap). I was wondering if streaming videos counts towards this, like does it take up disk space? And is there any chance of viruses? Thanks, pretty random, but I'd like to know.

A:ok this is probably the wrong place, but...youtube

Hi...

Yes that will count towards your 2GB monthly allowance...everything you get from the internet will count (emails, webpages, videos, music etc).

It does take up disk space but once you clear your temporary internet files, that will solve the problem.

As with the risks of internet use, there is a chance of picking up spyware/viruses by downloading content....but the chances are far less with reputable sites.

Okay, I've checked everything I know how to, but cannot figure this out- I'm only putting this here because what I'm hearing comes from the sub of my Logitech z-5500d setup.

Often, when I plug in a USB cable, or touch anything metal to my case, I hear a "click" out of the woofer. I also hear it when I switch speeds on my ceiling fan.
Or when the washing machine switches from wash to spin. (The fan only does it switching from "hi" to "medium," not from med to slow.

Multimeter shows no faults anywhere on/in the case. Any electricians out there?

A:What the ??? Short? Wrong place?

I had a subwoofer on my home stereo once that would pick up CB radio jibberish from time to time. When the AC would kick on in the house in the summer I would hear a pop from the sub, etc. etc......turns out the AC plug in the wall was not grounded. At least that is what fixed my problem...

TamCOLOR=blue] Hi..I was wondering if anyone can help me...my son was on my system the other night and since I have been having nothing but pop-up problems and actually problems running certain programs.

I have WINDOWS XP, and can't figure out what other topic this question might belong in...

I don't know when or how it happened, but two file folders MY SHARED DOCUMENTS and CARRIE'S DOCUMENTS are now in MY COMPUTER.

MY COMPUTER, where it shows the drives. I am pretty sure it never had yellow folders in it before.

I think they should be in C DRIVE? There is a MY DOCUMENTS in C Drive, but it has nothing in it. I'm the only one who uses this computer, but apparenty everything saved goes into CARRIE'S DOCUMENTS. SHARED DOCUMENTS has various folders in it that I suppose would be shared by all, if others used the computer, too.

I've tried dragging them there (or anywhere) but only shortcuts appear in the new area. The folders still say in MY COMPUTER. They won't copy and paste.

When I open something, like in WORD, etc. I can still find them, just they are under MY COMPUTER.

So, they still work, it just seems strange, like they shouldn't be in MY COMPUTER. Unless I have totally missed this for the past year, I don't remember ever seeing them in there before. I take pictures off my memory card with a removable drive, which shows up as F drive, so I look in MY COMPUTER to click on this, all the time.

What happened and how can I fix it? Actually, since it seems to work this way, the only reason to fix it seems to be it looks odd this way.

Could anyone tell me the best utility for fixing the registry/broken links/shortcuts etc in XP Home. My computer has become quite slow and I think I may have a lot of rubbish cluttering up the system.I do tend to trial a lot of progs and then uninstall them.

A:This question may be in the wrong place

Personally I would not 'fix' anything in the Registry. Yes there may be a few broken links but they will be taking up minimal space and will probably not cause your system to slow down that you would notice.. Better to defrag your hard disc and run something like Cleanup! to clear out your temp files etc.

if the mods would kindly move this post into the correct forum, as i'm unable to post there myself!!

up until today my pc has been working fine, but i have had a few virii detected by AVG that it said it had healed. now i cant browse any web pages to do with virii or anything remotely linked to it as my web browser closes down totally, this is if i use IE, firefox or opera, for instance i cant open the hijack this log forum as my window just shuts down!!

if i try open AVG it gets as far as the grisoft opening page then shuts down before i can do anything, same with system restore, if i click that it tells me it has been switched off through group policy and to contact administrator, for which i have administrator rights on this pc.

i can open every window from control panel, except administrative tools, if i try it just shuts the window down totally, this even happens if i boot up into safe mode, nothing that i know of will help, but then i'm not a pc whizz-kid!!

please help me, i have posted a hijack this log, hopefully someone can stop me throwing my pc out the window in frustration!!

I'll try to explain the best I can... my father (on his computer), was playing around with his taskbar putting it on the sides to see if he'd like there, I guess...

Now he's got repeats of his icons from the desktop sitting on his taskbar, fullsize. We tried to delete them, but if we did, they would also delete the twin that's on the desktop. I found this too be so weird, his taskbar is now about an inch and a quarter high, and we could not reduce it.

Normally the Quick Launch is located right besides the Start button, but the one on my w7x64 is away from it and the space between the Start button and the Quick Launch area appears to be the task bar where icon(s) is placed whenever program(s) is launched. How can this be corrected? The os is W7 Ultimate x64 SP1.

A:Quick Launch at wrong place

Hello Churin,

Step 8 in OPTION ONE in the tutorial below can help show you how to drag Quick Lauch all the way over to the left side next to the Start button.

For some time now I have had no sound. I think I might have plugged the sound connector into the wrong hole. On the back of my Dell Dimension #2350 PC are 3 holes (one pink, one light blue and one real dark blue). I currently have it plugged into the pink hole & was wondering if I should try one of the other two.

Have I got it connected in the right hole now or would I hurt anything by moving it to one of the other two holes?

I am a beginner and would really appreciate any suggestions and/or help as I really miss the sound, especially on e-mail cards I receive.

A:Have I Got Sound Connected In Wrong Place?

It would not hurt the computer or your speakers to plug it into the other holes.

Make sure your speakers are plugged into the wall (if they are that type of speaker), make sure they are turned on! And turned up! Put in some music, play it, and then plug the speakers into the different ports and see if they work.

If they still don't, let us know and one of us can walk you through it!

I have a Dell Dimension 4600 with Windows XP Pro. I have just changed my email host to lunarpages.com, and configured a new (IMAP) account in my email client Outlook Express per lunarpages instructions. I am able to send and receive emails, but the sent mails are being saved in the ‘Sent Items’ folder in Local Folders rather than in the IMAP account. Anybody know how to make them appear in a ‘sent items’ folder in the IMAP account? I’d ask tech support at lunarpages, but they’re gone until Tuesday. Thanks,Ken

My computer wasn't messed up when i first starting using it, but one day I turned on guest and i just started getting used to it. so i always used my guest file and all but a big problem happened some how. instead of my main account (Ben94), Guest became administrator. Now i cant do any features including:
* make new account(when i type something like TEST, it says: you cannot use .,{[}]!?,etc in a account name)
*cant change account types( because i cant make a new account)
* cant give passwords to accounts
* guest cannot check internet connections but ben94 can, but ben94 cant do anything about connections because its a standard account

they are a few things to add to that list but i dont want to go off topic. if there's anyway to fix this, please tell me.

Hi,
To put if breifly I was wiping the cmos after some trouble I'd had with my PC, I got distracted and when I went back I powered up the computer with the cmos jumper still in the wipe position. It won't boot to windows and seems pretty messed up, anybody know if how I could get around this?? I'm I right in thinking I could flash the bios, I haven't personally done that before so if somebody could speak me through what to do I'd be most appreciative...

Thanks in advance,
CrazyCris

I Just updated my bios from R1-B4 to R1-C0 and i havnt seen any differnce, bios options are the same, pc still has buggy boots before getting to Operating system select,so what would a bios update do exsacly?

A:BIOS Updated But.... (Sorry If In Wrong Place)

I can't say without seeing the release notes on the bios update, Generally they will only fix one problem at a time. Often it's compatibility for hardware that you may not even have. Meaning you will be unaffected by the update at all.

I'm trying to use robocopy for mirroring my most important files between two computers. Except for one issue, it works as expected.

I'm trying to copy the complete "Documents" directory. Previously, this was called "My documents" and contained for example "My pictures". Now it doesn't, and I like that, but robocopy don't. Somehow it still searches for these directories, and of course can't find them. Seems robocopy needs a fix, or am I missing out on something here?

A:Robocopy looking for my directories in the wrong place

When I use robocopy, I use it in a text based batch file. So, as long as your paths are correct in the batch file it should go exactly where you tell it to. I haven't noticed any issues doing it this way with Windows 7.

I recently bought all the parts to build my very own gaming pc, which one of them is the Antec Kühler h2o k240.

I build it myself and I got to the BIOS but now i see when i start my pc only 1 of my cooler fans doesn?t rotate.

I got my fans connected to cpu_fan and AIO_pump. But I don?t think the last one is correct. Should I put the AIO_pump to cpu_OPT or am i missing the point somewhere?

Thanks in advance.

A:Cooler 4 pins at the wrong place?

I looked at the manual and it is just about useless. With dual fans, there should be a spliter for the fan pw and that goes on the cpu fan header. Both fans pw from the single header. From the manual, it shows the pump being connected to a sata type pw connector. This is pretty strange; all of the AIO type coolers I have seen have pump pw going to a AIO header on the motherboard. It is hard for me to understand how pump RPM is going to be monitored by using a sata pw connector......Again the manual is useless.

FWIW I recommend coolermaster water cooling IF you really want water cooling.

I've set up a back up batch file to copy my Documents, Pictures, Music, and Videos folders from my computer to an external hard drive.
However, while running the Documents backup, it seems to find, the pictures, music, and videos folders all inside the documents folders labelled "My Music", etc.
However, these folders do not exist. When I navigate in explorer to C:\Users\username\Documents\ I cannot find a folder labelled "My Music". When I try to navigate to C:\Users\username\Documents\My Music it tells me that "access is denied". I cannot find them through command line either.
As well, when I try and find the folders on the backup drive, they do not seem to be there either.
I just don't understand where this is coming from.

Hi and thanks i advance for your help. I just reformated my PC and after I installed everything, I played some music and it comes out of the speakers built-in to the screen and not my speakers. I tried lots of things, like unpluging the sound cable on my screen or trying every option in the sound pannel, but nothing seems to work. Can anyone tell me why this is happening...

I'm putting this here as my OS is Vista and most of my pc related problems seem to be with vistas compatiblity, so.

I'm trying to extract a file with winrar, and every single time I try, I get the same error message
! C:\Users\Public\Grand Theft Auto 4 - Vice City [v1.1 PC-Multilang NoCD].rar: Cannot set Grand Theft Auto 4 - Vice City\readMe.txt security data
! This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object.

I'll keep the details involving folders etc in, even though I don't think they're relevant as I've tried saving in several locations.

After reading online, I get told it's to do with user permissions, and creating new objects.
As I'm the admin of the PC, I'd assume I'd be able to save it anywhere, no?
Anyway, I tried moving the .rar into the same location as the Destination for the files, tried moving it into the folder for the user of my pc and extracting it there, and both of those ideas of mine didn't work, so I decided to ask help here.

any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated as this is the only way I can acquire the thing I've downloaded atm
